Vladimir Putin's Russia is accused of rigging the American electoral system to help Donald Trump winning.

Could the « Russiagate » convince the Electoral College not to vote for Trump, thus costing Trump the election on December 19?

ZERO chance. This whole Russia hysteria is ridiculous. There is no evidence that Russia hacked the actual voting or that Trump worked directly with the Russians. What happened was that they hacked the DNC, a private organization, and leaked e-mails that exposed Hillary and the Democrats' true beliefs.

Probably not, but an upset (of some sort) would be funny.

This would be far from the first time that a foreign government ever tried to influence the outcome of another nation's election.  As a recent example, think of the last election in Israel.

if you are interested,  this site will track the state by state EV, which starts in NH at 10:00 and ends in HI at 7:00 PM.

no.  most people from GOP states couldn't even find Russia on a map, much less would they have electors who care about it. 

Not even from Alaska? It would be surprising.

The fact that they did not do this in turn to the RNC, though, suggests that they were trying to influence the election in Trump's favor, and that, had they stood by, or hacked both, Trump would likely not have won. Who knows how much dirt is sitting on those RNC servers?

Are you joking?

I agree it won't affect their vote, but the implication that Russia essentially had Trump elected is a huge deal.

This is ridiculous liberal hysteria.

First, there is NO evidence, not one iota, that Russia hacked or manipulated the actual voting or that Trump worked directly with the Russians to bring this about. Second, the Russians tried to hack both the DNC and the RNC but failed to breach the latter's firewalls. They then leaked actual e-mails written by DNC members and the Clinton team to wikileaks. None of the e-mails were doctored. And the DNC is a PRIVATE organization, not a governmental one. It was thus a hack against a PRIVATE U.S. entity, much like a corporation, not the actual U.S. government. No sensitive security information or highly classified material were leaked as a result of the hack (can't say the same for Hillary's e-mails as Secretary of State).

This whole ordeal is just the Democrats trying to taint Trump before even entering his Presidency.

Of course this nonsense won't cost Trump 37 electors.

Which is weird, because he's pretty clearly already done that without their help.

Something that is a lie will not stop the EC from electing Trump.

No, hopefully after the vote Trump will accept the conclusion of the intelligence professionals.

No, even if Trump ate a fetus, the electoral college wouldn't overrule the will of the (rural white) people.

The issue with "faithless electors" is that half the time they will just select another Republican as opposed to Hillary.
